Great Aussie Bush Camp - Year 5

Year 5 students had an unforgettable adventure at the Great Aussie Bush Camp, where they showcased their character strengths of bravery and teamwork. Throughout the three days, students cheered each other on, encouraging everyone to try their best and conquer their fear of heights during challenging harness activities.

Countless hours of fun were spent with friends, sharing meals, stories, and laughter while extending themselves in team-building exercises. They gained independence from packing and unpacking to getting ready for discos and enjoyed sleeping in cabins away from home.

Daily activities included the flying fox, power fan, archery, giant swing where they showed teamwork by walking back the rope for each other, raft building, fencing and cooking damper over the fire. Our amazing students truly rose to every challenge and celebrated their achievements together.

We can’t wait until the next camp!

Chatswood High School Event -AI and the Human Life

AI is on, in and around everyone's minds and feeds, and its presence is being felt not just in schools, businesses, industries, and economies - but in homes. It has a bearing on our education, our work, and our humanity.

We will be joined by Dr Simon Longstaff, Executive Director of the Ethics Centre, who will deliver the keynote address.

The event will kick-off with the Chatswood High School Drama Ensemble's play 'EPICAC', an original stage adaptation based on a short story by Kurt Vonnegut that is more than 70 years old but feels more relevant than ever.

Join our panel as we discuss this important turning point in history.

WHERE: Chatswood High School - Hall

WHEN: Saturday, 5 September 11:30am to 1pm.

WHO: Parents and guardians, students and staff of CHS.
